Call Of Duty: Black Ops 1 And 2 Ports Are Out Now On PS5, But DLC Costs Extra
The ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Black Ops 2 (2012) are available now. The ports, which were confirmed in June, are developed by Iron Galaxy in conjunction with Activision. As announced previously, these are not remasters or remakes--if you enjoyed the games in their original states, that's what you're getting here. The games cost 40, but PlayStation Plus members can get each for 20 through August 6. There is no bundle that puts them together. Black Ops 1 and 2 are out now on PS4 and PS5. The descriptions for each state that the games offer a classic Call of Duty experience, and as such, cross-platform multiplayer is not supported. Beyond the base games, Activision is also selling each game's season pass for 30 (or 10 through August 6 for PlayStation Plus members). The season pass bundles include additional multiplayer maps and Zombies content. The next brand-new Call of Duty game is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, which launches this October for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC.
